After your facial: the next 48 hours
For the rest of the day after your facial, avoid heavy makeup and wear SPF. For 48 hours, skip harsh actives to let your skin fully benefit from the treatment. After a peel, use a gentle cleanser, moisturizer and SPF for three days.
The rest of the day
Your facial finishes with moisturizer and SPF. For the rest of the day, avoid heavy makeup and keep wearing SPF.
Some treatments are designed to fit straight back into your day. Simply Hydrodermabrasion, for example, has zero downtime, so these small adjustments are all it asks of you.
The next 48 hours
Skip harsh actives for 48 hours to let your skin fully benefit from the treatment. That means pausing retinoids and exfoliating acids, such as the Rejuvi 'a' Retinyl Serum or the Rejuvi 'g' AHA Serum, until the two days are up.
Until then, keep it simple: a gentle cleanse, moisturizer and SPF.
Not sure whether a product counts as a harsh active? Leave it out for the two days, or ask Leica. Here is the whole list in one place:
- Avoid heavy makeup for the rest of the day
- Wear SPF
- Skip harsh actives, such as retinoids and exfoliating acids, for 48 hours
- After a peel, use a gentle cleanser, moisturizer and SPF for three days
If you had a peel
After a peel, use a gentle cleanser, moisturizer and SPF for three days. With the Simply Gentle Peel, your skin may feel slightly dry or sensitive afterward, with minimal to no peeling. That's normal.
The same three-day routine applies to any peel, including the more intensive Simply Deep Peel, which is for returning clients only.
When to reach out
If something doesn't feel right, or you have questions about your skin after a visit, contact Leica at mysimplyfacials@gmail.com or (818) 621-0495.
A rash or anything that looks like an infection is a question for a doctor, so check with your doctor first, then let Leica know so she can note it for your next visit.
Planning your next visit
Many clients book every four to six weeks to keep results going. You can book your next visit on the online calendar anytime, and Leica can suggest products to keep your routine on track between facials.
If you liked a product Leica used during your facial, ask for its name. The Rejuvi products she uses in treatments are available in the shop, with shipping or free studio pickup.
